Netflix Enlists Cardi B To Preview First Trailer For ‘You’ Season 5: “Y’all Gonna Gag”
Cardi B may be a Grammy-winning rapper, but she is a fan of Netflix‘s You first and foremost. In previewing the official trailer for the twisty crime series, which drops tomorrow, the streamer enlisted the “WAP” singer to give her spoiler-free reactions.
Fans of the Penn Badgley vehicle and/or Cardi B — plus the extremely online — will recognize the marketing move as a nod to the two entertainment industry figures’ Twitter-first relationship. The two first began a meme-filled correspondence when the Gossip Girl alum name-dropped the musician in an interview, citing her as a person who has an “authentic relationship” with fans on social media and contrasting that with his self-described inaptitude with online platforms. Since then, the two have switched profile icons and talked glowingly about each other during press appearances. Netflix’s X account even once changed its bio to read: “Petition to get Cardi B to guest star in Season 4 of You!” (That obviously did not happen, but her track “I Like It” did play in the first episode of that season.)
